Is this what women's rights have become?

All I hear about nowadays about women's rights is reproductive rights and getting paid the same for the same qualification regardless of the actual job (something that will only happen in a communist society).

So women fought for the right to have sex without risk of pregnancy? Sounds more like it has been taken over by men, because sex without consequences is something they have wanted for thousands of year.

    Some altruistic intentions are there. But an overwhelming load of it is motivated by greed. That is why the calls for more pay for women are heard loudly above all the other notions. That and the fact they've pretty much gotten everything they asked for. They are trying to do to employers what they have done to husbands. They want to get paid whether they're at work or not, with maternity leave being paid in addition to vacation time..

    Actually, most of the time men wanted to sire bastards. They wanted to sow wild oats, so to speak. They wanted to have a large family to support them in their old age. They wanted to spread their DNA far and wide. It is only recently since feminists have started abusing the courts to grant divorces willy nilly and then to punish the men who had the audacity to think their wife would keep to her vows with imprisonment for not being able to afford to maintain two separate households, one with a fantasy budget set by a judge and the other, (the one that allows the man to live) set by constraints of reality.

    So when faced with the potential abuse through an inescapable system, men have changed their minds and now prefer no children to potentially being slowly tortured to death by hateful women abusing the system. Remember, Moses allowed divorce because of their stiff necks; because their hearts were hard. In other words, it's practically a given that people who divorce hate each other. Making divorce easier has only increased the hatred, because they were not forced to reconcile their differences.

    Moses' compromise may eventually sink humanity, unless we as Christians start listening to Jesus and stop accepting divorce.

    It was not long after Moses allowed divorce that men perverted it and began arguing to allow divorce for any reason. That was during a time when a divorce meant the woman was on her own. She didn't get alimony payments or any kind of benefits.

    Since the courts started this nonsense that a man owes a woman a living, more and more women have supported divorce as a method by which they can trick a man into a lifetime of support while they can live the single life. Feminism is an extension of that entitlement belief.

    To be honest, there are different kinds of feminism. Some altruistic intentions are there. But an overwhelming load of it is motivated by greed. That is why the calls for more pay for women are heard loudly above all the other notions. That and the fact they've pretty much gotten everything they asked for. They are trying to do to employers what they have done to husbands. They want to get paid whether they're at work or not, with maternity leave being paid in addition to vacation time.

    Employers hire someone to work for them, not so they'll have someone to pay wages. It's absolutely absurd, this entitlement mentality of feminists.

    A woman might be equally qualified on a given day as a man, but employers have the right to offer to pay them less money when women are willing to accept less money. What you agree to be paid happens before you get hired, and if you accept it, then it is fair.

    Besides, an employer might feel that having to deal with PMSing every month makes a female employee worth less than a man even if she is equally qualified on a given day.

    Self induced termination of unwanted pregnancy has been around as long as women have been around.

    A women can, if she decides, neglect to inform any she has become pregnant, and then proceed to induce miscarriage.

    The only thing legalized abortion does to change this fact is to provide a method of pregnancy termination that reduces health risks to the female that has decided it is not in her interest to carry till birth that pregnancy.

    Equality in pay benefits everyone if you want a society with equal responsibility.

    why do you never pay attention to what we actually say? McNamara has been calling liberals liars all over the place and here he is just blindly agreeing with your lies?

    is it that you're intentionally lying or you just don't know any better?

    It shows how little liberals really think of women. They are only useful to them as political tools

    It really tells you something awful about liberals that they've reduced women to issues of cost-free promiscuity and abortion.
